when the car was stock it would speed limit to 112mph. I changed the rear ratio from 2.73 to 3.45, corrected the speedo with a 23 tooth speedo gear on the sender. the car now tops out at 86mph@2600rpm in OD, turning off the OD raises the rpm, but still topping at 86mph. Went to Brenspeed, got the SCT Eliminator chip that piggy backs the ECM, I saw a performance gain; but the limiter was still there. After three reflashes and no luck, I returned the chip for a refund. They said that '94 and '95 v6's were oddball years. I thought about using an ECM out of a '98 to see if it would work. Any ideas?

speed limiter on 94-98 is rpm limited, if you install gears it will cut off about 86mph as you said due to rpm limit~ I thought there was some way to bypass the rpm limiter though

There has to be because mine doesn't have a limit. I still have the 2 73 gears in it for now and I can "peg" the speedo, I've had mine around 125-130 I'd say because it only reads 120 and the needle was past that.

One of the things the Eliminator chip did do was raise the rev limiter beyond 5000rpm (free spin) and when it was in drive(3rd) it topped at 86mph@3500rpm. If you guys could look into it, I would appreciate it. I've also talked to Diablo Sport and Ford Racing with no luck. I would try a handheld tuner, if I knew it would work. If only it were as easy as cutting a wire at the ECM.... Hey Straub, when they changed it from a 5 speed to an auto; did they put in an AOD trans or an AODE trans? And did they change the ECM at all?

They did put in the aode trans i'm going to check the numbers on ecm to see if they changed it.

Thanks for checking. Odd how the stock 5 speed computer would run the AODE with all the electronics in it. I may try a 5 speed ECM to see what it will do on mine. If you hear anything else, please let me know.
